Notes

Second edition with gold inlay, introduced in 1972.

Song running orders are different from the original LP, as per EMI’s custom when issuing the cassettes in the UK. It was only in 1987, with the ”XDR” series, that EMI started respecting the LP running orders.

Comments and Reviews

Mystdrf 27th Nov 2016		Added tape with black print and variations to insert
TopPopper 18th Jun 2014		Original contributor notes: 1 cassette, white plastic cassette shell, blue printed ink. Apple and Dolby System logos on cassette (not EMI’s). Note for the die-hards: no semicolon between Across The Universe and Dig It on cassette. 1 inlay, light-brown coloured variety ”Gold-Inlay” series, Apple logo on back flap, ”G&L” (Garrod & Lofthouse) printer identification on inner flap. Note for the experts: ”I’ve Got A Feeling” is mis-spelled ”I Got A Feeling” on the inlay and back flap, but not on the cassette shell. Reverse of inlay features capital-letters version of ”THIS STEREO MUSICCASSETTE...” stereo/mono info. Sound reproduction is big and bassy; as if the transfer was done by someone who was hard of hearing. There are many thumping drop-outs in the silences between the tracks, as if you’re listening to an 8-track. This figures, as EMI used the 8-track transfer masters for the cassette versions. The Dolby mastering is of the primitive B (”balaclavas on whilst listening, chaps!”) type. Date of manufacture? Light-brown Gold-Inlay, plus the white cassette shell with blue ink – between 77 and 82, veering around 1980, I’d say. Figures, as I bought it in ’81. There’s still the G&L printer I.D. included on the inner flap,even though the inlay is a ”lighty” and the capitals on the ”stereo/mono info note” on the back flap must be dateable somehow – some other issues had lower-case letters - but this also may be due to a different printing company (EMI used Garrod & Lofthouse and Ernest J Day – EJD on many cassettes...). Somebody out there knows the truth...
